[DW83] This article contains numerical values that can be used with Maple to produce similar phase plane plots. It contains a nonlinear circuit that was once proposed to control the movement of an elevator, not really a good idea, but the circuit might provide an interesting idea for a self-designed experiment.
[HN84] Discusses a similar experiment using the Wien bridge oscillator governed by the VdP equation.
